It’ll pain Bruins fans to read this, but the right call was made on Milan Lucic in the second period of Montreal’s 2-1 win in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series between the archrivals.

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — Bruins forward Milan Lucic was more than eight years away from being born when the 1980 U.S. Men’s Olympic Team shocked the Russians and went on to the gold medal.

Luckily, the motion picture industry was able to provide the Canadian-born 22-year-old with some background on those events long before he arrived at the USA Rink at the Whiteface Lake Placid Olympic Center today.

BOSTON – By traveling to Lake Placid, N.Y, for two practices next week, the Bruins are planning on getting far away from Montreal between Game 3 and 4 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with Montreal.

BOSTON — Just when it seemed like the Bruins-Montreal rivalry had shifted from a war of words back to a hockey battle, Mark Recchi and Milan Lucic took to the airwaves Wednesday and accused the Canadiens of embellishing the severity of Max Pacioretty’s injury.

WILMINGTON, Mass. — Considering a Montreal player had been rushed to the hospital a period earlier, it seemed a tad inappropriate that at the tail end of the Bruins’ 4-1 loss last night Milan Lucic was trying to challenge Benoit Pouliot to a fight.

WILMINGTON, Mass. — The Tampa Bay Lightning, and specifically center Dominic Moore, might beg to differ, but Bruins forward Milan Lucic says he let up when he went at Moore with his stick high during a second-period scrum last night.
